Why are full games downloads in £'s not points?

[krooks]

Well annoying, I was gonna download me some full games with my newly acquired points on my legit box, only to find they are priced at £19.99 rather than in points! Why is that? I've got 70000 points to spend.

[Goldberg]

And why are they soooo expensive!! You can pop to Game/Gamestation and get them for a fraction of the price they are charging!

[beerman]

how have you got 70000 points to spend? Isn't that like £500 worth of points?

[SiE]

70000 fuck me, where the hell did you get all them from? its 35 for 4200

i'm guessing he's took the piss with that 2100 for £7 littlewoods offer!

[krooks]

ha ha, and yeah, thats one too many zeroes!

What I actually have is 7300 plus whatever was left on my account before I did the littlewoods thing.

But still, I was really hoping to buy some games with points rather than pounds.

Still works out at £230 unless it was a typo and he means 7000

i was looking at my balance of 400 thinking, this is just not fair

The full games are overpriced for how old they are.

I would recommend any of the below from the arcade if you wanna spend some of the points tho:

Shadow Complex (effectively a full game if not a bit old school)
Battlefield 1943
Mortal Kombat 3 (only 400 points)
Worms 2 or Death Tank
N+ (although an older version of this is free on PC if you look for N v1.4)

Think Banjo-Kazooie is based on the full game as well and lots of people like that but I never played.

you can buy games with ponts if you look at the bottom of the dashboard when your on the game you want to buy you can press Y button (i think) and you can then use your points.

full games (on demand) are definitely not worth it. better get some good arcade games or DLCs.

thanks! You are right.

The games may not be worth it, but seeing as I got 2100 points for £7 (x 3, and may do it a couple more times!) and the games are 2400 points, that works out as £8. So I might do one at least.

if you buy the 19.99 games on xbox live all your littlewoods hard work would of been for nothing as they are a bloody rip off
